And just like that, we became a nation of bakers.
One day we were saying "Do you think this coronavirus thing is going to be bad?" and the next we were all at home in our flour-covered aprons baking loaves upon loaves of bread and wondering why we couldn't find yeast at the stores.
The bread-baking continues unabated, and so, to some extent, does the yeast shortage. Flour, fortunately, is more widely available, though not necessarily the kind you want. Whole wheat and bread flours are still hard to find.
